Powdersville High consistently ranks among the top high schools in South Carolina, with impressive performance on End-of-Course (EOCEP) exams that outpace the state and district averages in most subjects. The school's four-year graduation rates, ranging from 83.8% to 94.1%, are generally higher than the state and district averages, and its dropout rates, ranging from 0.5% to 2.4%, are lower. While Powdersville High's performance is stronger than that of the nearby Wren High School, it lags behind the highly-ranked Greenville Technical Charter High School, which consistently ranks among the top 10 high schools in the state.

One area of concern for Powdersville High is its relatively high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 15.7% to 24.7% in recent years, which are higher than the state and district averages. This may be an area that warrants further investigation and the implementation of strategies to improve student attendance. Overall, Powdersville High is a high-performing school that offers a strong academic experience for its diverse student population.
